Summary: | Milk can be designed to meet the requirements of consumers by modifying its composition by nutritional interventions or by transgenic method. Designer milk is tailored to provide both processing and health benefits to consumers. Altering the fatty acid profile, modifying the casein structure, milk containing nutraceuticals, replacement for infant formulas offers benefits in the area of processing. Increasing conjugated linoleic acid, omega fatty acids, less fat, less lactose, more proteins, less b lactoglobulin in milk offers health benefits to people.
